Black garbage bins line the streets of Humboldt Thursday morning as the very first REACT garbage bin collection happens throughout the day.

Residents on the south side of highway five are to begin the new garbage and recycling program in the city.

Friday, north end residents will have their garbage picked up.

Garbage collection will happen on a bi-weekly basis, switching off each week with recycle pick-up.

The blue recycling bins will see their first collection next Thursday and Friday.
